User talk:Joshua Jonathan

Hello. Framing this message to let you know that your recent reverts you made to B. B. Lal, violate WP:NPOV. The revert summary listed by you initially mentioned whitewashing and was then changed to dog whistling. However both of these terms are inaccurate in this context as the pre-edit tone of the article itself violates WP:NPOV (i.e the pre-edit tone doesn't make a distinction as to who criticized and why did they criticize. Regarding the mention of the term "Marxist" in original edit and in Talk:B. B. Lal it's a well known term in the mainstream historical context hence the existence of Marxist historiography Wikipedia article. Therefore term can't suggest dogwhistle. Regarding the other message you left in User talk:AR98211 about the topic being "Contentious" in context to South Asian topics.

1) The edits don't make a reference to military history

2) The edits don't make a reference to social groups (particularly any caste or political party) as suggested in Wikipedia:Contentious topics because Indology and Marxist aren't words used social groups as the hyperlink goes to Marxist historiography and Indology

I would mention the same in Talk:B. B. Lal Thank you. AR98211 - Let's discuss now! AR98211 (talk) 09:27, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war, according to the reverts you've made to B. B. Lal. This means that you are repeatedly reverting content back to how you think it should be, despite knowing that other editors disagree. Once it is known that there is a disagreement, users are expected to collaborate with others, avoid editing disruptively, and try to reach a consensus – rather than repeatedly reverting the changes made by other users.

Important points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive behavior – regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not engage in edit warring – even if you believe that you are right.

You need to discuss the disagreement on the article's talk page and work towards a revision that represents consensus among everyone involved. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution if discussions reach an impasse. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to engage in edit warring, you may be blocked from editing. AR98211 (talk) 13:01, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

@AR98211: good to see that you know what edit-warring is; it saves me a warning at your talkpage. You're also aware of the informal 'don't template the regulars'? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 13:15, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

@Joshua JonathanSad to hear a "regular" can't objectively analyse facts and takes a Wikipedia warning as a ego hit.

I think you have a misunderstanding of what "objectively" means. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 14:31, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

My bad, I am not a regular so I won't know I also am not an intellectual like you @Joshua Jonathan

why do you have to be such a weakling Sunshinejoefixit (talk) 08:15, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

@Bishonen and Doug Weller: some intervention would be welcome. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 08:57, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

I was just reading it up, but Doug got there first! Bishonen | tålk 09:57, 4 February 2026 (UTC).

Could you explain your reversion? Victar (talk) 18:26, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

@Victar I already did: diff. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 18:31, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

someone had recently added an unsourced statement in Indus script article claiming that the script has something to do with Sanskrit Augustus indicus (talk) 18:31, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, Joshua Jonathan. Since you are overseeing the page Indigenous Aryanism, I've just found some recent studies arguing in favour of the hypothesis. Would you mind taking a look? Both are on the Springer database via Wikipedia Library:

I took a look; I don't see them arguing in favour of the hypothesis. Regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 11:46, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
